* Here's a nice Deroy Murdock column on Marco Rubio as the best chance to defeat Hillary Clinton: "Rather than engineer a Hillary Clinton landslide, Republican voters
should nominate a stalwart, quick-witted conservative whose immigrant
roots and modest means make him a far more elusive target for Clinton’s
slings and arrows.
In fact, Senator Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) is the only GOP contender who
consistently defeats Hillary Clinton in head-to-head heats." This is the only thing that matters right now. Stop bashing Trump and one another, and concentrate on winning back the White House!

At least when a retiring baseball great makes his final visits to stadiums to receive gifts and accolades, it's because he has contributed to bettering his team and his teammates. Obama, on the other hand, has done nothing but strike out since becoming president, and we are in worse shape now than before he was elected.

Good for the Pentagon! They obviously see what Obama refuses to see: that closing Gitmo and moving dangerous terrorists into our country is a security risk. At least someone is looking out for our safety.

Enjoy the humorist's latest column, which offers such news items as this: "President Obama pardoned
thousands of inmates from federal prisons, slashing years off their
felony sentences. This time we are not even getting a deserter back in
return. National Security Advisor Susan Rice told NBC News that these
prisoners served their terms with honor and distinction."

From Mediaite: "President Obama has a very simple question for everyone running to be his successor: why? More specifically, 'why do you want to do this?' Obama said what sustains him is the fact that becoming president
requires a love of country and a clear vision on how you can get America
working."

A love of country? Everything he's done to fundamentally transform America has definitely not been for love of country! And the reason the candidates (at least the Republicans) want to become president is to undo the damage he's done and to protect us against further destruction, from within and from without.

If the story about Peyton Manning is true, it'd be the most shocking news since that other all-American boy, Lance Armstrong, was revealed to be a liar and cheater. If it's not true, Al Jazeera has an awful lot of explaining and apologizing to do.

The latest column by Victor Davis Hanson couldn't be more true. It's called "The death of gratitude" and describes our current climate of selfishness, whining, and wasting time finding things that offend you. I always say if you don't like it here, leave.

Here's another dose of common sense from Daniel Greenfield at Sultan Knish, where he refers to Islamic terrorism-deniers as The Islam Terror Truthers. "Each and every act of Muslim terrorism is followed by a wave of denial.
The politicians who have done the most to cause the latest disaster are
the eagerest to blame it on something, anything else."

I've always said that it will unfortunately have to take 5,000 or 10,000 Americans killed by these savages in mass attacks before everyone finally accepts the fact that Jihadists want us dead.

Here's Dennis Prager on the now annual debate over the use of "Happy Holidays"instead of "Merry Christmas": "I have been wished 'Happy Holidays' by every waiter and waitress in
every restaurant I have dined; by every one of the young people who
welcome me when I go to the gym; by every flight attendant and pilot on
every one of my flights; and by every individual I have dealt with on
the phone.
When I respond 'Thank you. Merry Christmas,' I sometimes sense that I
have actually created some tension. While many of those to whom I wish 'Merry Christmas' may actually be happy that someone felt free to utter
the C-word, all the sensitivity training that they’ve had to undergo
creates cognitive dissonance."

I know how he feels. I always say "Merry Christmas", but thanks to the PC types, it seems to be a foreign phrase. And the other day when someone actually greeted me with "Merry Christmas", I was taken aback, because I've hardly heard that phrase uttered during this sadly sanitized season. And anyway, maybe by next year, "Happy Holidays" itself will be found to be offensive!

The Republican candidates should start asking aloud: are we better off now than we were 4 or 7 years ago? Do you really want another Democrat in the White House at this crucial time? Forget about the phone ringing at 3 am -- there's pounding at the door at 3 am!

Here's a new item from Hamilton's latest amusing column: "Congress held hearings looking
for ways to halt ISIS recruiting of young men in the U.S. to the
terrorist cause. Everyone's brainstorming. Donald Trump suggested Bill
Gates figure out a way to shut down people's access to the Web,
forgetting that Gates already did that with Internet Explorer."

Bonus: read about Russia and the "Obama schmoe". And speaking of Obama and schmoes, I find that I trust him even less now that he is talking about defeating ISIS than I did when he dismissed ISIS as a threat!

Sound familiar? "Early Wednesday morning, the House Rules Committee posted text for
the Consolidated Appropriations Act of the 2016 fiscal year (FY). This
$1.1 trillion spending package, known as the omnibus, shows Washington
at its worst. Lawmakers are being asked to sign off on 2,200 pages (with an
additional 1,000 pages of explanatory materials), at the 11th hour,
without having had sufficient time to analyze its contents."

Marco Rubio criticized the bill: “Look, this is a massive piece of legislation, over a trillion
dollars in spending, it was just announced and everyone now has 48 hours
to make a decision of what to do about it,” he said in an interview on
Fox News today. The House of Representatives is expected to vote on the
bill on Friday. Hours after Rubio’s comments, however, the Senate approved a unanimous consent to fast track the bill – ensuring that any senator would be unable to stall the bill.

Rubio criticized the bill for including funding for Obama’s Syrian
refugee program as well as “a bunch of really bad stuff.” He indicated
that he had already learned enough about the bill to oppose it, and
signaled a willingness to slow the process down."

"New guidelines announced
Tuesday by the Israel Medical Association may dramatically change the
way paramedics treat wounded individuals following terrorist attacks,
potentially prioritizing terrorists over victims.

The directive, issued by the IMA's Ethics
Committee, effectively changes existing triage guidelines. Under the
current directive, patients are not to be prioritized solely on the
basis of injury severity but also on the principle of 'charity begins at
home,' meaning treating the victims of a terrorist attack before the
terrorist himself, even if it appears the attacker's wounds are more
serious.

Under the revised directive, patients are to
be prioritized on the basis of medical considerations only. This means
first responders may face situations where they must treat a terrorist
before tending to the victims. ...

An IMA source told Israel Hayom the association avoided
overly publicizing the decision, fearing public and political backlash
amid the current surge in terrorist violence."

"How much more slaughter of innocents in the name of Islam do we
need to endure before the free nations of the world wake up and admit
that we are at war with the ideology of Islamism?"

Dr. Jasser is president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy and author of
A Battle for the Soul of Islam: An American Muslim Patriot’s Fight to
Save His Faith, and I've seen him on Fox News. Let's hear more in this vein from more people like Dr. Jasser!

Sam Taylor-Johnson, who directed Fifty Shades of Grey, is in talks to direct Apex Entertainment's feature Chappaquiddick.Mark Ciardi is producing the project, with its script just named
to the 2015 Blacklist. Campbell McInnes of Apex Entertainment and Chris
Cowles of DMG Entertainment are also producing."I've done a lot of true life stories, many sports stories, but
this one had a deep impact on this country," said Ciardi. "Everyone has
an idea of what happened on Chappaquiddick...

Actually, the facts are clear. "Everyone has an idea" only because the truth has mostly been suppressed by the liberal press.

Hollywood:

...and this strings together the events in a compelling and emotional way.

Hinderaker:

Not, you will note, in a true way. Instead, in a "compelling and emotional way."

Hollywood:

"You'll see what he had to go through."

Hinderaker:

What he had to go through? Are these people crazy?

Hollywood:

Written by Taylor Allen and Andrew Logan, Chappaquiddick
is political thriller that unveils the true story of what is described
as the seven most dramatic days of Senator Ted Kennedy's life.

Hinderaker:

True story? We'll see. I don't doubt that these were
the seven most dramatic days of Ted's life–only political corruption
spared him from a jail term–but more significantly, it was the last day
of Mary Jo Kopechne's life."

The Republican candidates can debate all day long about how they would deal with ISIS, but Obama has a whole year left, and who knows what this world and this country will look like by then. Israel is our only friend in the Middle East, and even that can change by the time he finally leaves office!

Now we know once and for all that Christmas is purely an excuse to shop and has nothing whatsoever to do with the birth of Jesus Christ: "It was once anathema to think of shopping on Thanksgiving Day, but
now that's become almost commonplace with the likes of Walmart and Macy's opening their doors on the holiday.
What's next? Christmas Day? Actually, yes, according to consulting company LoyaltyOne. 'It's
inevitable,' said LoyaltyOne managing partner Dennis Armbruster, who
predicts that retailers will start opening on Christmas Day within three
years. 'What Christmas means to some is just changing, and a lot of
families don't necessarily celebrate on Christmas Day because of
extended family dynamics. Consumers are also highly used to getting what
they want, when they want it.'"

The fact that something this trivial would be the focus of a study is amazing. And what kind of people get offended by a simple punctuation mark? We're in worse shape and more immature than I imagined.

Tonight, CNN was spending more time attacking Trump than they were talking about the Minnesota Jihadist. Here's a an alternative to Trump's proposal that Muslims be temporarily banned from entering our country: let them enter the country, but don't give them welfare, food stamps, or housing assistance. Why should we subsidize our own destruction?

Here's one of the news items in the humorist's latest column: "The White House stood by
President Obama's declaration in Paris that the number-one threat to the
United States is climate change and carbon emissions. The enemy was
quick to adjust. To stay off President Obama's radar, ISIS just decided
that all their future Toyota trucks will be hybrids."

Can the Republican presidential candidates please stop fighting and attacking one another? They should be working together to defeat Hilary Clinton and regain the White House before it's too late. The infighting just plays into the hands of the Democrats and the media, which looks for any excuse to criticize them anyway. The goal of the GOP should be to win the November election and get our country back on the right track, not to self-destruct!

I'm afraid of what Obama is going to do to this country in the very long year he still has left! I'm afraid of a President who considers the American people the enemy while ISIS is the JV team and Al Qaeda's on the run. These terrorist groups must cheer when they hear speeches like the one Obama gave last night. He is our version of the Vichy government.

Can you even imagine Obama saying what Franklin Roosevelt said on December 8, 1941?

"As Commander in Chief of the Army
and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always
will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.

No matter how long it may take us
to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous
might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe that I interpret the
will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only
defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form
of treachery shall never again endanger us.

Hostilities exist. There is no
blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in
grave danger.

With confidence in our armed
forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the
inevitable triumph -- so help us God."

He couldn't walk, yet he had more strength and courage than people who could. Because of him, America was strong.

Courageous news from the City of Lights: "Chabad of Paris has announced that it will go forward with its
traditional candle-lighting ceremonies throughout the city during
Hanukkah, despite heightened fears of terrorism in the wake of the
November 13 terror attacks in the French capital. 'As
a matter of principle, Chabad has always taken the position that
shutting down its Jewish activities would be a capitulation to terror, a
submission to darkness which the [Hanukkah] lights are intended to
dispel,' an article published on the Chabad Lubavitch Headquarters’ news site read, explaining the movement’s decision."

Here's Robert Spencer on the latest terrorist attack: "The San Bernardino jihad massacre is the latest jihad atrocity, but
it’s just like the last one, and just like the next one: it has played
out in exactly the same way that the last jihad atrocity did, and in
just the same way that the next one will play out as well. Mass killings
by 'radicalized' Muslims are followed by earnest statements from the
President and the mainstream media that we must not rush to judgment,
that the motive of the shooters was unclear, that we need gun control,
that we need to address the real threat of climate change, that Muslims
fear 'Islamophobia,' and so on. It’s always a new massacre, but it’s
always the same story.
Surely by now mainstream media
reporters don’t even need to roll out of bed to file their stories. How
much legwork does it take to write, 'Syed Farook and Tashfeen Melik
murdered 14 people at a Christmas party in San Bernardino; yes, Farook
was a devout Muslim, but authorities are searching for a motive;
moderate Muslims condemned the attack and said they feared anti-Muslim
backlash'? Change the names and date, change the number of victims and
the place, and they’ve filed that story dozens of times. They can just
take out their last New York Times or CNN piece on the Paris jihad
attack, change the details, hit send, and pour a cold one."

Excuse me, but "backlash" is normal after your country has been attacked and innocent people have been savagely murdered! It was that way with the Japanese and Germans during WW2 -- but Americans weren't lectured about it by FDR or Churchill! It's war, you fools, so shut up with the PC once and for all, and go after the terrorists and terrorist sympathizers in this country instead.

And this sickening fact, as seen at Mark Steyn: "A man who has been working in the area said he noticed a half-dozen
Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to
report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people." How can this witness sleep at night? That sort of political correctness is exactly what terrorists and other criminals are counting on.

If only we had a real President right now to handle this brutal terrorist presence!

These 3 Dems are visiting a DC mosque tomorrow. "Democratic Representatives Rep. Donald Beyer (D-VA), , Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), , and Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-NY) announced in a letter: 'We must show that we will not tolerate islamophobia and that those who propagate it do not represent the melting-pot America that we celebrate.'"

Once again, liberals rush to kowtow to Muslims and apologize to them after a fatal terrorist attack. What these three men should have said was, "We will not tolerate murder in the name of Islam," and paid tribute to the innocent victims!

Wednesday, December 02, 2015

If it's true that one of today's killers is a Muslim named Farooq Saeed, kindly do not lecture usabout "Islamophobia". We have every right to hate them for their barbarity over the years, so just shut up already!

Please do not continue to preach to us about gun control. If you have any common sense at all, you will do away with gun-free zones once and for all.

If I hear one more link between global warming and terrorism, I will surely scream.

In her excellent column titled Pope Francis, ‘suffering fuels terror’? Look at the Jews, Gheula Canarutto Nemni shows that despite the Pope's claim that “violence, conflict and terrorism…are fueled by fear and desperation…born of poverty and frustration", Jews never used that excuse. "Yet nothing, not even desperation, can justify
terrorism. The roots of terrorism lie only in hatred-based education.
We Jews have a lot of experience with desperation. But our history shows
other more constructive ways out of it. Desperation has never been a
justification for Jews to commit violent acts in the name of our
religion."

When I heard the news today, I thought it had to be one of three things: foreign or domestic terrorism; gang- or drug-related retaliation; or recently fired disgruntled employees. Whoever they were, they certainly came professionally prepared.

Be sure to check out the latest column, which includes such news items as this one: "President Obama declared Thursday
the Syrian refugees are just like the Pilgrims who landed on the
Mayflower. We all know how this ends. Two hundred years from now, the
Syrians will feel guilty about what they did once they got here and
allow Anglo-Americans to operate their own casinos."
